High Power Faraday Optical Isolator, 5 mm, 1030 nm, 1/2 Waveplate

The ISO-FRDY-05-1030-W Faraday Optical Isolator is essentially a uni-directional light valve. It is used to protect a laser source from destabilizing feedback or actual damage from back-reflected light. This 1030 nm high power free space optical isolator is packaged in a compact cylindrically shaped magneto-optic device with a base plate for ease of mounting into an optical train. It has a 4 mm clear aperture and a 1010 to 1045 nm wavelength range. Horizontal input and vertical polarization output. This -W version includes a 1/2 waveplate.
